THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY

Comic Book Movie notes that in the latest issue of Empire, actor Martin Freeman discusses filming the scene in Gollum's Cave -- his first bit of work on the production. "It's good to know, but not play, the importance of the Ring. I'm trying to put a bit more heaviness into it. It's not all comical," says the actor. Andy Serkis, his co-star in the scene, suggests it was the perfect way for Freeman to start his time on the film. "He could find Bilbo within the confines of a one-on-one scene. It was almost stranger for me: for the first couple of days it felt like I was doing an impersonation!"
